Install Tricentis Tosca in unattended mode

You can install Tricentis Tosca in one of the following ways:

• Via setup dialog as described in chapter "Install Tricentis Tosca via setup dialog".

• In unattended mode. In this case, the setup completes the installation without user interaction.

This chapter explains how to install Tricentis Tosca in unattended mode.

An unattended installation is necessary in environments that use software for automated and centralized software distribution. These environments need setups that support unattended installation.

Perform an unattended installation

To perform an unattended installation, follow the steps below:

1. Unzip the installation package.

2. Go to the installation folder and enter the following command at the command line:

   "Tricentis Tosca14.0.exe" /s <MSI commands> /qn

   • /s specifies silent mode. Elements that require user interaction are not displayed.

   • /qn specifies that Windows Installer dialogs are not displayed during the installation.

   • Replace <MSI commands> with one or more of the commands in the list below.

MSI commands

The table below contains a list of MSI commands.

You can find more MSIEXEC commands in the Windows Installer Service documentation or display them by running the MSIEXEC.exe file in the command line. Or you can check out the attachments of this Tricentis Knowledge Base article.

For the MSI commands in the list below, please note the following:

• If a path contains spaces, you have to enclose it with a backslash followed by quotation marks: \"<Path>\". For instance: \"C:\Temp\My directory\file.exe\".

• All MSI commands except ADDLOCAL are commands to configure the features that you want to install. If you want to use the default configurations for these features, you do not have to specify them in the command line.

MSI command	Description
ADDLOCAL	Specifies which optional features to install. Enter ADDLOCAL=<feature name> and replace <feature name> with one of the following: TricentisTBox TricentisClassic DexAgent ToscaBIDataTesting Tosca_VisionAIEngine You can enter multiple features, separated by comma (see Example 2 below). If you don't use the ADDLOCAL command at all, all features are installed. If you don't specify any features after the ADDLOCAL command, none of the optional features are installed.
DIAGNOSTICS	Enables or disables Tosca Diagnostics. Use the parameter DIAGNOSTICS=1 to enable Tosca Diagnostics, and DIAGNOSTICS=0 to disable it. Default: DIAGNOSTICS=1
ENABLE_TOSCA_DATAINTEGRITY	Enables or disables Tosca Data Integrity. Use the parameter ENABLE_TOSCA_DATAINTEGRITY=1 to enable Tosca DI and ENABLE_TOSCA_DATAINTEGRITY=0 to disable it. Default: ENABLE_TOSCA_DATAINTEGRITY=0 To use Tosca Data Integrity, you need licenses.
